Adoptive Parenting is not for the faint-of-heart.

I provide education, inspiration, and transformation for adoptive parents of challenging children, by integrating trauma-informed parent coaching and Deep Stress Transformation.

Certified Trainer through the Beyond Consequences Institute.

I am passionate about helping parents who are raising challenging children, by walking with them on their own path toward self-acceptance and healing.

In addition to training as an experiential psychotherapist, I am adoptive parent to my two amazing grandchildren, so I have been there, done that, and I GET it. So, if you are seeking Radical Acceptance...for yourself, for your child, for your family...for the world...I can help you. And, as a Certified Trainer with the Beyond Consequences Institute, I provide instruction and coaching in this love-based mode

As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore challenging life circumstances--past and present--that are currently creating suffering. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, grief, depression, a major life transition, or issues in your relationship, my intention is to help you move through and grow from your experience.

My approach is creative and intuitive. I believe in each individual's inherent health and wisdom. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, finding the path to that inherent wisdom. Sessions focus on deepening awareness of obstacles blocking that path, recognizing the wisdom of "bad" habits, and utilizing your strengths so you can grow and live more in alignment with your values.
